As a proud member of the LGBTQ community, I offer informed and empathetic support to those navigating issues around gender identity, sexuality, societal judgement.
My mission is to provide a compassionate and customised approach to integrative counselling, tailored to meet your specific needs. As an experienced counsellor, I draw from various therapeutic models to ensure that the approach we take together is as unique as you are. I use tools from psychodynamic therapy to explore the past, person-centred techniques for non-directive support, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to tackle problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. At Evolve Health & Wellbeing, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.

Hello, my name is Mel, I'm 49 and i live in west Yorkshire, I have been working in mental health and the world of therapy for over ten years now. It is one of my greatest passions when a person has the bravery to reach out and ask for support when they feel things are no longer working for them the way they are. I have worked in many different settings, from drug and alcohol support services, to supporting people with complex mental health hurdles and also working alongside people navigating their way through and around grief. I offer integrative therapy, that allows us to be really flexible in our approach.

Or you might like to process an event in a safe environment?

You have likely arrived here because yourself or someone you know is thinking about counselling. This can be a worrying and confusing time and you may just need information about what counselling is and how you can make use of it. I chose counselling as a career as there was a time where I felt like I had no voice. I was alone with my thoughts and feelings. Having therapy, allowed me to understand how it feels to be listened to, with no judgement or a fear of being misunderstood. It gave me time, space and the confidence to open up. I want to work with others and communicate how to work on their self-love and belief in themselves.

As a transgender woman with Autism and ADHD, when I was searching for a therapist I found it exceptionally difficult to find someone who understood the intersections of my identity.
My name is Jocelyn, I am a trans, AuDHD Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, and a GSRD specialist. I frequently work with gender, non-monogamy, kink and neurodivergence within my therapeutic practice. I enable individual clients and intimate partners to create relationships with themselves, each other and with sex that they want, in a way that aligns with their identity. I also work with clients who are gender, sexuality, and relationally diverse (GSRD) and want to work with a therapist who is affirming of their identities. I hold both early morning time slots and evening slots.

Transgender Counsellors
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.

What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.

How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
